Cali has to go back to Eugene for work in the morning while we stayed in Portland, so we decided that for our last day together we would do things that Cali hadn’t had a chance to enjoy yet. Before we started our day we did get to meet up with Andre for an early lunch at a cool pasta place across from the hotel and one block down the street from Andre’s office. (Andre has an internship in Portland and he’s staying here with his parents during the week.)
First stop, the Portland Aerial Tram that leads to the Oregon Health & Science University and opens into the Center for Health and Healing. Our lyft driver told us how the Center offers free health care for people who don’t have insurance. He was pleased and grateful. Many people on the tram were going to work, we could tell from their badges.
Views from the tram including that nice vision of Mt Hood at the top of the page.
Bridges and more bridges.
Then we went on to Powell’s, Portland’s legendary and world’s largest independent bookstore. Oh yes it is big.
We had to get badges to visit the Rare Room which was worth it.
And lastly, the gorgeous Japanese Garden.

Then Cali had to get back to Eugene and we got a to-go dinner at Veggie Grill to bring back to the room and snack on while we packed up for the flight tomorrow.
